Was your dad ever..really really opinionated and not easy to get along with? Dennis Leary - I'm An A$$h0le. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_KDAicF0YoOne year I showed that to my boyfriend - in pure humor. He liked it so much, I got him the album for Christmas.

Sorry to hear about your dad. Truly the first thing that comes to mind is some Monty Python bits. Was he a fan? I always get a big laugh out of the "Bring out your dead" scene from The Holy Grail movie, or the Dead Parrot Sketch from the Flying Circus series.

There's always John Cleese's eulogy for Graham Chapman...

Or The Pogues version of "Worms", or "Turkish Song of the Damned" or "If I Should Fall From Grace With God" (which I'm rather amused to note is currently being used in a family car ad...)

My BF and his bro played Pink Floyd's "Great Gig in the Sky" for their dad's funeral.

My uncle's funeral had Bob Dylan's "Everybody Must Get Stoned" played on accident. It was played softly while everyone was coming in to the funeral parlor; my dad about had kittens, Mom & I were cracking up. It was...fitting, really.

My dad's funeral was the one that my aunt and I both thought that "Dead Skunk In The Middle of the Road" would work as a third song. (We live in the midwest, he sang it EVERY time we came across a skunk while on a drive...which was often.)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W95qOOix0U0

Monty Python is a great choice. Actually about anything that use to be on Doctor Demento would also probably fit.

I'm sorry about your dad, but love the macabre sense of humor. Laughter is the best way to get through things.

Horrible suggestion, but if he passed after a long illness, Warren Zevon had the same sense of humor and wrote a song after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. The lyrics are extremely NSFW, but here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHDdqubE7zQ
